There could not be a starker contrast than that between the March for Life and the Women's March.

The pro-life movement and the feminist movement could not be more different, and this sharp contrast was on full display over the weekend.

For the very first time, I had the opportunity to attend the March for Life in Washington, D.C.. The crowds were massive  its the largest annual human rights march in the world  and the people were cheerful, warm, and full of joy. The theme of the event was, fittingly: "love saves life."

Families proudly pushed their babies with Down syndrome  an abnormality we, as a society, are urgently told to dispose of  in their strollers with smiles on their faces, former abortion clinic workers held signs proclaiming that life matters, teens chanted about their love for babies and held clever and playful signs, single mothers boasted of the children they chose to keep thanks to pro-life pregnancy centers and religious organizations, a Congresswoman told the masses of the miracle birth of her daughter who was supposed to die upon delivery, and the faithful said prayers aloud in unison and sang church hymns.

The message, "love saves life," was intricately woven into every beat of the march.
